Cathy will be sorely missed she was sharp, thoughful, witty and a sweetheart, the light of the neighborhood, very inquisitive and would always surprise you with sharp insights and very funny jokes since she was very educated and traveled the world, she was the kind of person that if she liked you, you must be a good person because she always said she knew how to read people and she really could she saw right through them to their heart, she also always gave wonderful advice i can't think of a better friend i made in many many years or maybe ever and Cathy loved Jesus which is what our friendship was mostly about taking about the world, Politics and the Bible and she loved music which we listened to often like The Beatles her ultimate favorite & The Dave Clark Five but Anything British invasion. She had a servants heart and the mind of a great teacher, she was definitely an intellectual. She was both bold and kind, she was totally from a much different and better time and although she was forgetful she knew so many things. She will not be forgotten I miss here dearly, she was my best friend! I salute you dear Cathy Sincerely, Jeff Webb JR
